Guest guest Posted December 13, 2001 Report Share Posted December 13, 2001 * Exported from MasterCook Mac * Chocolate Latkes Recipe By : Denver Post, Wednesday, December 12, 2001 Serving Size : 24 Preparation Time :0:00 Categories : Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method -------- ------------ -------------------------------- 4 egg whites 3 cups sweetened shredded coconut 3 1/2 ounces chocolate (semisweet or bittersweet) -- finely chopped 6 tablespoons sugar 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 1/4 teaspoon salt (scant) Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. To make the latkes, combine all of the ingredients in a large heatproof mixing bowl, preferably stainless steel (the ingredients heat up faster in stainless steel than in glass). Set the bowl in a skillet of barely simmering water and stir the mixture, scraping the bottom to prevent burning, until the mixture is sticky and hot to the touch. Scoop rounded tablespoons of the mixture about 2 inches apart on the cookie sheets. Flatten each cookie slightly with your fingers to resemble miniature potato pancakes. Bake until the cookies feel dry on the surface and the edges and the protruding coconut shreds are dark golden brown (despite the chocolate color) and the interior still looks like melted chocolate, 13-15 minutes. Rotate the sheets from front to back and upper to lower about halfway through. Slide the parchment onto a cooling rack. Cool the cookies completely before removing them from the parchment. Makes about 24 2 1/4-inch cookies.
